Re: Lost my friend on Christmas
Well today was a bad day for my family as well...my 21 yr old cousin committed suicide. His 19 yr old brother left his house at 9am yesterday morning and his roommates found him with a shotgun laying beside him...without going in to details we are all shocked. No one even knows WHY!! Christmas Eve and Day he was acting normal full of xmas cheer, dancing around acting as normal as a happy kid would act. He showed no signs of depression, did not use drugs, and was in college making good grades. No one can figure out why he did this and that makes it so hard to believe and accept.
It just goes to show cherish those you love. Cherish those you once loved and maybe had a falling out with. You just never know what will happen. I watched this kid grow up since he was a baby. He always had his head on straight. No girlfriend problems either. It just makes no sense!
Now I am finding it hard to follow my own advice to celebrate life because no one knows why he took his life.
I just want to say that I appreciate everyone in this family Brandon has given us. Everyone in this family is always here for each other, even if it is just to vent, support, or talk no matter how many miles separate us. We are all very lucky to have one another.
